3-Month Check-up

Before Matt & I got married,
we were divinely blessed to have been mentored by
Dana & Casey Brewer.
I grew up with Dana at Trinity and while I was convinced she was supposed to marry at least
one of my brothers, it just wasn't meant to be.
They spoke so much Godly wisdom and truth into our lives during the 4 months we were engaged,
and we attribute much of our smooth transition into married life to them.
We covered everything from childhood trauma to how to cope with sleeping in the same bed
when one person snores (and that one person is NOT me!)
We were also blessed to have Casey officiate our ceremony in the most beautiful way possible.
We still have people comment on how anointed our ceremony was,
and boy did we feel it!
It was like we were in a worship service the whole time.
And, I guess, we were.

Anyway, we had our 3-month "check-up" with them last night,
and we were proud to pass with flying colors!
The most difficult thing we brought up was Matt's bad habit of falling asleep on the couch
instead of in bed with his wife.

I HIGHLY recommend enrolling in a marriage prep class before getting married,
and if you're able, to have a mentoring couple as well.
Praise the Lord for Godly couples in our lives!

The Art of Talking to a Pregnant Woman

I have previously written about peoples' funny comments to me which I thought were endearing and quirky so far. This last week, some of those comments crossed into the "that's none of your business" category. Pre-pregnancy I never posted one picture or video of what I do at CrossFit. Frankly, it's awkward to me to ask my coach, "Can you video me making funny faces and grunting while lifting this man wight? Thanks." But since I'm still lifting and doing CF during my pregnancy, I am proud of myself and wanted to show "the world" (i.e. Facebook) what it looks like for a pregnant woman to do CF. (b/c it's becoming more and more comical) With my first video, I had all positive comments. Lots of women my age really wish they would've continued working out during their pregnancy and vow to do so the next time around. Lots of women were so sick, they couldn't even think of working out. Since I've had s...

First Blog Ever!!!!!!!!

I have serious doubts about my current writing ability post-college; therefore, my first blog will consist of a story I wrote in my Creative Writing class my Junior year at Tech. Don't be concerned because of the seemingly violent nature of the story...it's just a story. I don't need therapy...anyway. Enjoy~ Sweat dampened Arria's flannel pajamas as her bed sheets tightened around her in a constricting hold. Arms and emotions flailed in a frenzy of anxiety and hatred. Yet amidst all the confusion, she held the gun steadily as he stood, hysterical before her. All the pain he put her through, all the love and despise that consumed her accumulated in this one moment, and just as she pulled the trigger… Arria bolted upright as she remembered the same dream, the same ending, and the same loneliness. Rain and ice pummeled the roof of her red brick house; held back only by the careless, overbearing oak trees. She stepped onto her balcony unaware of the ferocity of ...

Piercings, Puppies and Push-Ups

Yes, it has been 2 months since I've written. No, I haven't been living under a rock during that time. I admitted at the beginning of this blogging adventure that I'm not consistent with it and that it overwhelms me.  For all those non-bloggers out there, blogging is challenging. I find that I look at experiences in the light of, "Oh, my readers would like this!" or "What have I learned from this that I can write about?" Obviously, it's much easier to just coast through normal, boring days and even eventful, trying days without a time of retrospection. So, I am coming forth and admitting that I have coasted through the last 2 months, but alas, I am ready to confront life again with an inquisitive mind! For many people, inquisition is natural. For me, Questioning is NOT the norm! I take them as they are, and rarely think of them again. I forget arguments Matt & I have once apologies and forgiveness are traded. Th...
